Chloe checked her phone yet again. Nothing. But he was bound to text her soon to tell her how sorry he was. He must have realised by now that he’d made the biggest mistake of his life. Breaking up with her in the heat of a ludicrous argument – one that he had started.
Ping!
Every time her phone made a noise, Chloe’s heart hammered so fast she felt as if it was going to burst out of her chest, like something in a horror film.
In fact, her whole life felt like a horror film right now. Her world had been plunged into a dark despair since Simon had broken up with her one week, one day and several hours ago. Not that she was counting…
Ping!
Chloe grabbed her phone and sighed with frustration when she realised it was just another one of her friends asking if she’d heard from Simon yet.
No, I haven’t heard from him! she fired back. I’ll let you know when I have.
